So turn back now if you're not ready for Lyric and Blaire's story. Because shit just got Real.

“I’ve learned a lot this past year, but there are two things I’ll never forget: one, People aren’t what they seem, and two, I fucking hate liars.” –Blaire

Blaire Morgan was a quiet, grief stricken girl when she left Mobile, Alabama, a year ago after her brother’s unexpected death. She returns a year later with fresh wounds from another betrayal, and she’s not the same person. A woman letting her tortured past rule her life, her “take no shit” attitude is catching the attention of everyone that crosses her path, including the bad boy front man of Lyrical Obsessions—the new band that plays at Jay Jay’s. When she learns he has something she wants, she plans on doing whatever it takes to get it.

What is a demon? An evil spirit possessing a person, acting as a tormentor in Hell?

Lyric “The Demon” Devereux is that tormentor and Hell is any place he sees fit, either in the fighting ring or on the streets. He killed his first person at seventeen years old, and that list has grown over the years—as well as his list of enemies—but his biggest enemy is himself and he doesn’t know how to win that battle.

When Blaire comes into town like wildfire and turns heads, Lyric’s temper emerges—uninvited and unexpected. His plan to stay at a distance for her safety, and his sanity, changes when she continuously shows up with her defiance and seductive pull. He now has no choice but to face his past that could possibly destroy the both of them.

So R.D. Cole has done it again and given me an amazing book that had my emotions all over the place. I was so ready for this book, when I was introduced to Lyric at the end of Learning To Heal, I was intrigued and wanted to know more about him. Man did I ever get more of him, Learning To Forgive is an incredible story that I highly recommend everyone read.

Blaire is definitely a wonderful and remarkable young woman. I will admit I had some crazy feelings about this chick. I loved and hated her because of how she was about Trudy because I know what Trudy went through and adored her. But I could also see where Blaire was coming from. She was hurting, broken and angry at the world for the bad hand she was dealt. I felt awful for her and wanted nothing more than for her to find love and someone who could show her she was more than her past, she was a strong and vibrant woman.

What can I say about Lyric, but WOW. I was instantly in love with this guy the moment I met him in Learning To Heal and the more I got to know him and in his head in Learning To Forgive the more I adored him. He is such a compassionate, driven, wonderful man that Blaire was so lucky to have come into her life. I was in shock though when I found out what Lyric did, it was crazy, but it didn’t matter because I couldn’t help but develop a infatuation for him.

This book has everything that a book lover wants in a book. There is romance, love, hate, drama, some major crazy twists, and lots of mystery going on that will be revealed and leave your mind in a whirlwind. R.D. Cole has given me the most amazing book and I have to say I believe it’s my favorite in the series. I give it FIVE INCREDIBLE STARS!

R.D. Cole is a lively person with a determination to make it in life. Once her mind gets set on an idea she pursues it with passion. As long as she has God and her family she feels she can conquer every day. Besides reading and writing she loves to sing, dance, and go mudding on her Souped-up Can Am. Her hubby is 9 years younger but he seems more mature than her at times and they level one another out. She has a beautiful daughter named Bethani who is a miracle and a fighter. She's the only known living survivor of Matthew Woods Syndrome and when no one thought she'd live R.D. said "yes she will." R.D. takes nothing for granted when it comes to life. "Everything can be ripped from your fingers before they can grasp it. So if you want something in life, do it. Go for it."

That same mindset has helped R.D. write small pieces of her life mixed in to fictional settings and characters that will capture your heart.
